Planning application

Flat B, 58 Elderfield Road, Hackney, London, E5 0LF

Granted Hackney 2026/0596 Works to Tree with Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Sycamore T2 positioned in South-East corner of the garden (see sketch plan). Proposed crown reduction of 3-3.5m from branch tips (see image 1). The tree has grown significantly and is now disproprotionate to the space available. The canopy extends well beyond the boundary and overhangs neighbouring properties which has begun to cause concern for adjoining residents including blocked gutters and concern over water ingress (please refer to image 2 for proximity to neighbour). The proposed work to reduce overall crown and manage its size aims to ensure that it remains appropriate for its setting while maintaining the health and long term stability of the tree.
